I was excited for this ep, I really was, but it just didn't work for me (in terms of the puppet stuff). It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. They went through a lot of work to work in the puppet business and didn't really exploit it for all it was worth IMHO. The B, C, and D storylines were more interesting than the puppet gimmick. Countdown to goodbye begins.

I will keep an open mind and most likely laugh, but when you compare it to season three and four in terms of tone, it seems to have fallen a long way.
That said, I wonder if we can look forward to David Boreanaz making some appearances on Crank Yankers?

This season doesn't have the story arcs, so it can go anywhere and explore a lighter tone, then go back to serious in a flash.
Has anyone considered:
The fact that Spike now has a soul, the events foretold in "To Shanshu in L.A." could have a whole new meaning.
I mean Joss could be one to twist that, wouldn't it be interesting if Spike became Human first, Spike dislikes it, but Angel wants it, but can't, it would just flip the whole thing, which is Joss's style, wouldnt put it past him. Or if they both have to fight over it, I don't know, but it's confusing.

Looks good. I'm just wondering how an episode like this was brought up. "Hmm, let's bring puppets onto the show. And let's turn Angel into a puppet".

Interesting that they brought werewolf girl back into the mix.
P.S. WTF is up with Fred's mini-skirt's? Girl's don't dress like that around offices.

I am now convinced that WB's cancellation of Angel is a ploy to keep me watching for the rest of the season, since, based on this episode and last week's, I probably wouldn't otherwise.

Wolf Girl
Is it just me or did I just see a nipple ?

Eh... not bad. While only advancing one event (Fred and Wes getting together -
, this episode was good for a few laughs.
Oh, and if you missed the preview for next week, Whedon is directing (and wrote the episode too).

Holy breasts Batman! Nina really had her hands full.
I don't think this was a horrible episode, if anything I don't think it reached the potential it could have. If it weren't for the puppet gimmick the main story was severely lacking. However, the side stories really made up for it. If I didn't know better I would have thought they knew the end was coming because they really picked up the pace on several fronts.

Vamp Angel Puppet was hilarious as well.
Angel finally makes a move on Wolf-Girl. And Fred makes her move on Wes. Gunn makes a deal to retain his brainy abilities, but at what cost? Knox might be a problem down the road.
If there was a wolf-girl nipple, it was super-quick. I was more impressed by her "cup runneth over" condition.
